Subject: [PATCH perf/core 1/3] uprobes/x86: Return error from uprobe syscall when not called from trampoline
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 22:57:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905205731.1961288-2-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250905205731.1961288-1-jolsa@kernel.org>
Currently uprobe syscall handles all errors with forcing SIGILL to current
process. As suggested by Andrii it'd be helpful for uprobe syscall detection
to return error value for the !in_uprobe_trampoline check.
This way we could just call uprobe syscall and based on return value we will
find out if the kernel has it.
